I never liked regular velcro. I use something called "Dual Lock" It is an industrial grade plastic fastener system, made by the 3M company. It is similar to velcro.

Unlike velcro, it does not have 2 "sides" like a hook and loop, but only 1 side that nests with the other side.

It is EXTREMELY strong, it will not move at ALL.

Only downside - it is very expensive. My job regularly stocks this on hand, so I don't have to buy the ridiculous amount that most places have as a minimum to order.

You can check it out here http://www.duallock.com/

Yeah! I think this is strong enough to survive some gigs ;)

One Problem: I'm living in Germany and never saw this type of fastener... :crying:

Never seen this before. For 525 it better not have a bad setting on it. Someone never PG Music should go try it out and see if it stands up to that hype.

cool stuff. Our NS2s have almost the same setting, mine's threshold is down to more about 6 o clock. But everyone's settings for the ns2 are "pretty much" the same so dunno why i mentioned we have similar settings lmao anywayz ive been planning to use tape that you use a permanent marker on and mark your pedal settings like you have. just haven't got around to it lol.

Thanks for the fast response.

Is Velcro strong enough? I'm a newbie in the "Board-Building-Science" but isn't it safer to mount your pedals with screws or something else? When you step on the effects it is bad for the circuit points when the pedals slip a little bit, isn't it?

I would say it all depends on what type of board or set up you have. Some boards are made out of aluminim and thus screws will not work unless one perhaps drills holes.

Screws can be very sturdy, but so can zip ties if you have a crate or something to that effect.

The right kind of velco will be plenty strong and one doesnt (nor shouldnt) need to cover the whole bottom of a pedal with it. (If you do, there is a chance that you might not even be able to pull it off- yes that is how strong the more industrial grades of velcro truly are!)

Velcro is nice because you can quickly take a pedal off the board and switch it with something else or move it to another place is desired.

I use Velcro because i like to re-order. I also play places where all I need is the tuner and BDDI and don't want to take the whole board, so with Velcro I can take the pedal off and put it back when done.

I always use industrial grade velcro. It hasn't let me down yet. If you have the right kind of pedals and board though, you could try out some Mounty P's. They're made by Nobels and are really cheap. They pretty much screw onto one of the screws that holds the bottom plate onto a pedal. Then, there is a little loop of metal that sticks out the side that you use to screw it directly to your board. You can find them here:

They are in the "Electronic Accessories" category.

Good luck.

let us know how the ashdowns work out for you... people here seem to be unsure of their quality (soundwise - especially regarding the use of active vs. passive basses). test away, sir!

oh, and by the way... do you have soundclip-recording capabilities? if so, i'd love to hear samples of the Swollen Pickle. :bassist:

Yeah, what is the ashdown chorus like? I'm lookin around for chourses at the moment so i'd be happy to here bout it. By the way, if any of you want a review on the ashdown envelope filter- I have just doen one in a recent thread.

I've heard it's just a more scooped version of the Muff sound.
